! party and the Democratic party were, but

party and the Democratic party were but
aThere are two mighty reasons why poll
tics should be revolutionized and con-
science made the law of party. rs 1t is now
the law of the individual.
"Under our republican form OF govern
ment not anything is SO educatlve as IS
politics. The whole nation OF voters go to
school every year. Everywhere the dom
inant question is discussed. If politics is
on low plane the education is downward;
if on a high plane, the education is up
| ward. Said Beecher in 1860: THE con-
science of the nation has grown ten cubits
| since the introduction of abolition into
politics.. This tremendous educational
agency must be brought over to the right
side 1t will be Of unmeasured advantage
to compel the masses to discuss and take
sides on moral questions. Not anything
will be SO educative. 1t is the mission of
the Prohibition party to compel this.
"Then, under this Government for the
people all great reforms are wrought
through the Government. This is the
help for nearly every wrong. 1t is the
most potent engine the world has ever seen
for veal or woe. 1t must be gotten and
kept on the right side. Now it is i'll the
hands of bummers, political tricksters and
men, who. had they lived in Judas time,
would have outbid that apostate and done
the job for twenty nine pieces of silver. 1t
is folly, it is madness, to permit this vast,
all-cont1olling machinery of Government
to be turned against progress. This blind
Samson, with eyesight restored, must be
enlisted upon the right side and help
speed the race upward. That is the work
of the hour.
Now, the question remains, which po-
litical party is the one fitted to bring con-
science into politics? Were it possible for
one of the old parties to be brought around
to do this work, that would be preferable
to organizing and the pushing to the front
a new party. Said father: Now, Doctor,
if you can cure Ike for the funeral ex-
penses. 60 ahead; if not, he must take his
chances. If we can get one of the old par
ties converted at less work and expense than
we can get ready for our work as new
party, all right; if not, the old parties must
take their chances.
"But what chance is there for one Of the
old parties 10 become conscience party?
Not the shade of shadow of chance.
The Democratic party conscience party!
At the suggestion a lau goes up all over
the North. The Republican party u con
science party. The whole South breaks
out in guttaw ut the thought. Struggle
with them for recognition of conscience"

Adintant General Drum Favorabiy Re-
ports on 1t, and Makes Recommcnda-
tions to Further Increase Its Efficiency.
WAsHINGToN, Nov, S.-Adjutant General
Drum, in his annual report to the Secretary
Oi War, states that the steadily increasing g
manifested by the militia of the States is
evidenced by the high percentage of a.
tendance at the annual encampments and
the generally excellent military spirit Of
the troops. With the liberal increase of tho
appropriation made at the last session Of
Congress for the benefit Of the militia, it
is earnestly hoped that the State military
authorities will, by an increased allow
ance Of ammunition, foster and develop
the efficiency of the rank and file in target
firing. He recommends the establishment
during each encampment OF an officers
school for instruction in battalion
drill and the administration of post.
He also suggests tho advantage of
holding weekly, during the winter
months. II non-commissoned officers
school, the captain as instructor, Tor in-
struCtion in company drill, duties OF
guards and sentuelS and the admlnlstra-
lioa of company. Young officers of tho
army could be spared during the winter to
report to the Adjutants General of States,
on application of Governors to aid in the
instruction of both officers and non-com-
missioned officers. The reports of officers
on duty as military professors in colleges
and universities are generally satisfactory.
